Amazing Attorney

I had a very complicated case and boy oh boy did Steve do his due diligence. He really understood my personal situation and we were able to put the past behind us! Steve is compassionate, strong, determined and knows the law unlike any other attorney I know and/or dealt with. I will always go to Stev...e and not only give him special accolades but would 100% recommend him.

Professional, compassionate attorney.

Mr Kaufman represented me in my recent divorce. He is certainly very knowledgable, reliable and professional, but all this has been said before in prior reviews. The qualities that i think makes him an outstanding attorney is his compassion. Mr Kaufman understand that divorce is a devastating expe...rience for many of us, that brings out sometimes the worst qualities and feelings in human beings. He kept his objectivity in his advise and did not get emotional or judgemental. He worked on my behalf while dealing with an aggressive, vindictive adverse counselor. If this is your situation, he is the best attorney you can hire. He did not engage or encourage legal games or advise to file motions that solve nothing other than causing more pain and expenses. He is diligent and effective. He worked on my case without burdening my days with unnecessary details, emails and phone calls. He advocated for amicable resolution of conflict but was also prepared to win a confrontation in court. Mr Kaufman was always available even when he was out of town. We met or spoke on the phone only when it was really necessary. He was always very direct in his advise and respected my time and money. He would play devils advocate sometimes to illustrate the worst case scenario and prepare you to make an informed decision. I was very impressed with his office staff, Lissette and Isabel. They are kind, respectful, always available. Perfect team. My thanks to them. I thank Mr Kaufman for his representation and highly recommend his services.

Quality Lawyer- no doubt

I have retained Steven as my lawyer for the last 12 years. He represented me through two divorces with children. I could not find a better lawyer even if I tried. Steven is friendly and highly professional. His knowledge and skills show in everything he represents. Regardless of the divorce, Steven a...lways put my kids first and kept me focused on the best resolution. He responds to inquiries and calls expeditiously and precise. He is always punctual. He has the ability to find solutions with the highest level of integrity. No matter the situation, I trust in Steven to provide guidance and the best results.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Kaufman, Represented me on a number of occasions, all of my experiences were very positive and always felt that Steve provided me with the best outcome. Mr. Kaufman always gave me an honest answer, did not sugar coat, and told it like it was. I always appreciated his candor and frank approach. ...I was represented on a very complex and convoluted case, Steve walked me through the whole process, always answered my phone calls and e-mails. Overall, he’s a subject matter expert, has an astute legal mind, honest, and fair. In a difficult time in my file, he was able to fight for me, and played a pivotal part in winning a case, but most importantly due to his representation, I was able to have a relationship with my child. I will always be grateful to Mr. Kaufman.

Good straight forward, no nonsense attorney

I used Steve for a child custody case. To put it short, my ex wife was attempting to alter our time sharing schedule and my contribution towards his child support. My ex was attempting to do this by making erroneous accusations. I went to Steve in a panic mode. Steve in a blunt fashion explai...ned my options in the case. Steve gave me time to dictate my position. Steve took his time the day before our court date to review the facts. Everything went well in court. Actually, later on everything went so smooth that I ended up getting exactly what I wanted as far as time sharing with my son. Things went even further when Steve was able to reverse my child custody payments to nothing! In fact, my ex owed me child support! Steve gave me his cellular phone number which made him available whenever I needed him. He made it a point to keep me informed about my case and he would even let me know when he was going on vacation. I appreciate Steve because he wouldn't feed me B.S. that I wanted to hear. He wouldn't allow me to waste my time and money pursuing things that he knew wouldn't work in court. Thanks Steve (and company).
